Municipal Court Judge Pinkey Carr, unhappy that Shena Hardin was smoking and texting Tuesday, said she planned to personally supervise the defendant Wednesday, but the judge later changed her mind.

Carr told WKYC-TV that she didn't want to cause a scene and was confident that Hardin won't drive on a sidewalk again. The Associated Press left a message at the judge's office seeking comment.

The judge had ordered Hardin to spend an hour Tuesday and another Wednesday with a sign reading, "Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus."

Hardin wore headphones and ignored passers-by Tuesday. The judge told WKYC earlier that she felt Hardin wasn't sufficiently holding up the sign and was "missing the point."

Hardin avoided smoking and texting Wednesday and wouldn't comment when asked if the judge had warned her to behave.

TV camera crews formed a tight circle around her, but she looked away except to quietly talk with a Cleveland radio personality who asked her about an apology. She deflected the suggestion and said she didn't owe the media anything.

Neal Hodges, 48, of Cleveland, stopped by to see Hardin after his brother in Chicago asked him to snap a photo. He said the judge should have been tougher.
